Classic Harvard: instead of, say, pulling a fire alarm to avoid or postpone a particularly treacherous final exam, an overachieving sophomore, “motivated by a desire to avoid a final exam scheduled to be held on (Monday),” allegedly e-mailed in a bomb threat,” CNN reports, citing a criminal complained filed yesterday.

The e-mail, “sent through a service called Guerrilla Mail, which creates temporary and anonymous e-mail messages,” warned of shrapnel bombs placed throughout campus buildings. The locations were evacuated and searched, and authorities were eventually able to conclude that two (2) key things were missing: bombs, and a truly anonymous e-mail address. Officials tracked down the message’s purported sender, one Eldo Kim, who reportedly confessed that he was the finals-fleeing faux-bomber.

What final did Kim dread enough to allegedly risk jail time? Or—twist—was this “performance” Kim’s final project and did he just maybe earn an A+ in “Security Industrial Complex: Motifs of Paranoia and Alienation in Post-9/11 Postmodernity”?
